I tried to give this tobacco a chance, but it's not good. I get no tang or sour notes from the Orientals, the Latakia is barely there, no evidence of a grassy or a sweet Va, and the Burley is lacking the nutty sweetness good burleys have.
This very much reminded me of an insipid "American English", except the focus wasn't on the burley. That's the problem. This tobacco seemed to have no focus whatsoever. It's just a big mess of components that didn't marry well, and none of the individual components elevates it.
Smokers used to smoking lat blends are not going to care for this one.

Received a very generous sample from Jack Sterling. Tavern 1776 definitely contains quality leaf that burns nicely to a white ash and produces plumes of thick smoke. That being said, this blend was not to my liking. All elements are muted, latakia included. Generally a very boring bland smoke. The only flavors that came through were strong soap and cologne notes that left a weird aftertaste and mouthfeel. I got 3/4 of the way through a large bowl and had to dump the rest. Took two bowls of a full-bodied english blend and a rich meal to remove the mouthfeel.
Wont be smoking the rest of the ounce, nor passing it on to anyone else, save for a pipe smoking enemy 🙂

It stayed lit, reduced to a fine ash, left my pipe clean, and delivered no bite whatsoever. Having said that, why do I taste soap, cologne, and something like a mouthful of jasmine? Why has my tongue been numb for over an hour? The wife was deeply offended by the room note, saying it smelled of burnt electronics.
